Merrick Hanna broke our hearts (and wowed us with his talent) during his first performance on America’s Got Talent, so we were so glad to see him add some joy to his dance moves for his second appearance on the show!

The super talented 12-year-old dancer did a unique dance to the song “Something Wild” by Lindsey Stirling and Andrew McMahon.

While judge Simon Cowell didn’t love the song choice, he still gave Merrick a standing ovation!

“The way that you managed to tell the story within your performance makes you different, relevant, cool,” Simon said during his critique.
